May 26, 2012. Monti’s Crowdsourcing Campaign to Cut Wasteful Spending. The policy of rigor and transparency of Monti government has forced the Italians to make many sacrifices. After a few months, however, the Italian Prime Minister realized that an important area remained free of any cuts: public expenditure. To help this process of spending review, Mario Monti solicited input from the public through the government’s website by asking citizens to highlight waste of public money of which they are a...

Don’t Hide Features in the Settings | Enrico Angelini
http://enricoangelini.com/2012/dont-hide-features-in-the-settings
October 16, 2012. Don’t Hide Features in the Settings. Nerdy users see settings everywhere. Users never look in the settings. Software is designed and implemented by nerds, so they have an innate tendency to put settings anywhere. And even if they try to fight their nature, they are also often surrounded by nerdy friends and colleagues that encourage them to add more settings. Nerdy users: 0.1%. Don’t hide features in the settings. People should be able to find all the available features in your app.

Some thoughts on WWDC (and) 2012 | Enrico Angelini
http://enricoangelini.com/2012/some-thoughts-on-wwdc-and-2012
June 14, 2012. Some thoughts on WWDC (and) 2012. I’d like to share a few thoughts on Apple’s WWDC 2012 announcements. I think we can finally say that iOS 6 is evolutionary and Apple takes care of its entire ecosystem. And requests like Siri support and Notification Center widgets for third-party apps? Not yet. Apple is focusing on polishing the experience as we know it and creating a mature ecosystem. Click here to cancel reply. Share your thoughts, post a comment. No public Twitter messages.

Italian Open Data Is Not So Open | Enrico Angelini
http://enricoangelini.com/2012/italian-open-data-is-not-so-open
March 31, 2012. Italian Open Data Is Not So Open. Even Italy has awoken, and AppsForItaly. 8211; the Italian Open Data competition – is the proof of this. Apps4Italy is a competition open to European citizens, associations, developer communities and firms willing to develop innovative applications based on the re-use of datasets published by Public Sector bodies and capable of showing how relevant is the economic and social potential of public information. So what’s this for? You’re doing it wrong. Steve...

Working with Clients: You Already Have The Power | Enrico Angelini
http://enricoangelini.com/2011/working-with-clients-you-already-have-the-power
December 10, 2011. Working with Clients: You Already Have The Power. In the last month I worked on an important project for an important client about which I can’t write publicly for legal reasons (except to say that it has been quite a success in terms of downloads, rankings, users reviews on the one hand and client satisfaction on the other), but I want to talk about a lesson I learned about client work. Product-based vs. service-based? I guess you know what I mean. There is no ideal condition to put y...

Archive for December, 2012. Another Digital Publishing Is Possible. This week, News Corp announced that. The world’s first iPad-only newspaper will shut down after less than 2 years and this has sparked a big debate on why. Failed and, more in general, why magazine apps suck. Many have commented that. I don’t think so. I wouldn’t be surprised if Apple releases a sort of Newsstand Author. Or allowing the download of XIBs? Well When I think of this, I don’t think ad hoc iOS apps, but a framework in w...

Archive for November, 2012. Jakob Nielsen’s usability heuristics. Are probably the most-used heuristics for user interface design. These are ten well known principles, but I want to concentrate on just one of them. Even though it is better if the system can be used without documentation, it may be necessary to provide help and documentation. Any such information should be easy to search, focused on the user’s task, list concrete steps to be carried out, and not be too large. What should not be done.
